3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Chocolate aspects that’d you’d expect with something strange coming from whatever spices they’re using. Just average overall.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Strong chocolate taste upfront that quickly disappears into a really thin porter.

Bomber. Pours dark with no head. Aroma is typical roasted malts. Flavor is boring. Hard to describe but nothing special.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bomber rec’d in trade to glass. Not much aroma some coffee. Nice black pour. Now it goes downhill. Very thin palate. Flavor sucked. Sour lactic and metallic were the flavors if that is what u call it. Drain pour

2.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Originally reviewed: 10/7/09. Bomber poured into my pint glass. Pours a cloudy dark muddy brown with a thin tan head on top. Fair retention, but leaves little to no lacing. Smells like freshly ground coffee right off the bat, then this dulls to scents of earth and bread.
The mouth is pretty average. Some carbonation play, and slight creamy feel. This is a pretty sour porter. The roasted coffee flavors I was expecting are absent. In their place is a sour mineral flavor that isn’t all that pleasant. I had higher expectations for this, but I couldn’t even finish the bottle. Not impressed.

On tap @ Stub and Herb’s.
Deep brown brew with a ring of tan head. Lots of coffee aroma with some roasted malt and rye spice. Rye is even more present in the flavor but overall is a bit thin and lacking.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a thin black-brown with a thin, small brown head. Nose and taste are nutty, chocolate, crisp, a bit of roastiness, with a bit of tart on the tail. Solid beer.
